LinkedIn is a popular social network for professionals who want to connect with one another. When you message somebody on the network, you do not have the option of attaching a file. This makes it difficult to share your resume with people without having them visit your LinkedIn profile. At times like these, you need to have an online resume uploaded so you can simply include the URL of your resume with your message. Additionally, you need your online resume to be downloadable in a user friendly format so that the viewer can save it offline for quick referencing later.
